Flight Plan
The aviation industry in America has begun to experience an extreme shortage of pilots with no clear solution in the foreseeable future. Because of the quality of character, commitment, and work ethic commonly found within our U.S. military ranks, commercial aviation companies have often favored recruiting former or soon-to-separate military members. Unfortunately, the military is feeling the same shortage of pilots civilian industry has felt and has begun implementing strategies to make reenlistment more attractive.
This has opened up opportunities for former military members, who may or may not have prior flight experience, to fill this void and take advantage of the potentially lucrative career as a commercial pilot. This is where VAW can help!
